Bella's POV

There is always the moment in a film, when everything suddenly turns into slow motion and you can only look on in horror as the unthinkable happens. I thought that only happened in the movies though.

I was wrong.

My feet were rooted to the ground, I tried to open my mouth to scream, to reach out my arms to stop him from lunging but I could do nothing. If my life were a movie, this would be the grand finale, the end of everything. As his fist powered through the air and made contact, I closed my eyes- not wanting to watch as everything that I had tried so hard to build fell apart.

Thud

It was all over.
